Back up from down under.
Posted on June 12, 2013 by wheelist in Guiding.It was a real pleasure to welcome Hamish back to Coed y Brenin today, after his coaching session with Wheelism last year.

Spring is in the air (at last).
Posted on April 13, 2013 by wheelist in Coaching.The snow is finally thawing, the temperatures are almost into double figures, and the daffodils are lining the roads as I ride through the Welsh countryside. It’s finally beginning to look like Spring is sprung. I’m not the only one feeling it either; it’s been a record Easter at Coed y Brenin, and lots of […]

My ‘Cross Bike is for Sale
Posted on March 4, 2013 by wheelist in Riding.You know how it is: you wait ages for a new bike and then three come along at once. So far this year it’s a new hardtail, a cyclocrosser, and now a new road bike. Sweet eh? Well, it all sounds good, but what it actually means is that I have to sell something to […]

Sometimes work just isn’t.
Posted on February 19, 2013 by wheelist in Coaching.I had the pleasure of running a coaching session for Iago and Steffan’s 9th birthdays last week at Coed y Brenin.

The darkness returns….
Posted on October 9, 2012 by wheelist in Riding.It’s that time of year again. The darkness has just arrived. Fortunately it’s that time of year too, and so today at Beics Brenin the darkness came in the form of a new bike – 2013 Stumpjumper Comp Carbon HT in super slinky Testbike colours.

Chasing the tail of the Beast of Brenin!
Posted on October 3, 2012 by wheelist in Riding.Usually when I ride in an event I try to finish somewhere near the front. I don’t always succeed, but I’m not often very close to the back of the pack. However, this Sunday I had the pleasure of riding the sweep on the second half of the Coed y Brenin Enduro, and that meant […]

Stravation – the need to feed on ride data.
Posted on September 18, 2012 by wheelist in Riding.On Saturday evening I rode the Exposure Lights Big Night Out marathon at Ruthin. I’d been away for the previous two days at a wedding, arrived home late, and had literally thrown my bike kit into the car before heading to work on the morning of the event. So, when I arrived at Ruthin after […]

The Summer is Dead! Long Live the Summer!
Posted on September 2, 2012 by wheelist in Riding.Hurray, hurrah, whoopeee, and root-tee-toot! The summer is over! Now don’t get me wrong – I love the summer as much as the next man, it’s just that the summers here in mid-Wales are when ‘The Outsiders’ come. The school holidays bring tourists by the bus load, car load, van load, and train load, all […]
